Summary - FOUNTAIN HOUSE, 16 FLAT 162 ST GEORGE WHARF LONDON SW8 2LJ
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Bright fifth-floor one-bedroom with Thames views and concierge — move-in ready.
Riverside balcony with direct Thames and City views
Bright fifth-floor one-bedroom in St George's Wharf with true riverside outlooks and a roomy balcony overlooking the Thames and City. The reception room benefits from full-height windows and wood flooring, while a separate modern integrated kitchen keeps cooking and living distinct. The double bedroom includes built-in storage and the bathroom is finished in a sleek contemporary suite.
The building offers secure, managed living with lifts and concierge and sits moments from Vauxhall transport links and riverside amenities. At 561 sqft the flat is an average-sized one-bedroom that works well for a first-time buyer seeking a move-in ready central pied-à-terre or as a buy-to-let in a strong rental location.
Important practical facts: tenure is leasehold with a very long unexpired lease (973 years), but the service charge is relatively high at £4,407pa and there is an annual ground rent of £150. Heating is electric via room heaters rather than a communal gas system, which may affect running costs. Local crime statistics are high; buyers should consider security and insurance implications.
Overall this apartment offers a desirable riverside position, excellent transport and concierge convenience, balanced by higher ongoing service costs and electric heating. It suites buyers prioritising location, views and low immediate renovation needs, while those sensitive to service charges or communal heating should factor these into affordability calculations.
